    The World Day for Safety and Health at Work was held on Friday 28 April 2023. During this day of fun, educational and interactive activities, various awareness-raising sessions were held.

    An athletic coach, a nutritionist, the Military Fire Brigade (GSPM), agents from the National Social Insurance Fund (CNPS) and our Health and Safety at Work Committee (CSST) were all present.

    Their presentations were followed by a buffet made up of simple and healthy snacks. The menu included fresh vegetables, fruits and fruit smoothies.

    Each of the speakers sensitised the audience on various topics and techniques such as:

    • How to use fire extinguishers to put out house fires
    • First-aid techniques to assist conscious and unconscious victims, such as placing them in a lateral position, providing mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, performing CPR, tourniqueting and clearing respiratory airways in children and adults (GSPM).
    • Ergonomics, i.e. the importance of maintaining good posture at work to ensure proper support to the spine;
    • Stress management, through athletic activities such as stretching and yoga;
    • Nutritional consultations for a balanced diet;
    • Presentations by the CNPS on the importance of respecting safety measures at work and the role of the CNPS in the life of the worker.

    Following a safety quiz organised by our Health and Safety at Work Committee, several winners walked away with prizes:

    • 1st Place: A gift certificate worth 150,000 CFA Francs won by Mrs. Sonia ABOU (Onshore Operator);
    • 2nd Place: A gift certificate worth 100,000 CFA francs won by Mrs. Leslie AWASSA (Supply and IT Asset Manager);
    • 3rd Place: A gift certificate worth 100,000 CFA Francs won by Mrs. Ninon KOFFI (Onshore Superintendent);
    • 4th Place: Two gift certificates worth 100,000 CFA Francs respectively won by Mr. Stéphane KAKOU, Chief Onshore Operator, Mr. Aboidje ANVO, CMMS Consultant, and Mr. Guy-Serge YEBOUE, Onshore Chief Operator.
